Performance Work Statement Pentagon Snow and Ice Removal Requirement

24 July 2014

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Introduction

The Pentagon Building is the Headquarters of the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. The Pentagon Reservation located in Arlington County, Virginia consists of the Pentagon Building, the Remote Delivery Facility (RDF) and its rooftop helipad, the Pentagon Heating and Refrigeration Plant (H&RP) compound, the Metro Entrance Facility (MEF), the North Pentagon Village and a variety of smaller support facilities. The Pentagon has been identified as the “Energy Efficient/Environmentally Sensitive Showcase Building” for the DoD worldwide, requiring snow and ice removal management procedures that reflect environmental sensitivity.

1.2. Pentagon Snow and Ice Removal

This contract is offered as a one (1) year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract with four (4) potential additional option years. Estimated work frequencies provided in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) relate to anticipated actual need, since the precise quantity of services required depend upon the weather and other unpredictable variables. Since the attack of September 11, 2001, contractor performance has been impacted by constantly evolving security procedures and enhancements. For example, all personnel must pass background checks and be issued a Pentagon Building Pass prior to starting work and all vehicles and equipment must be periodically inspected and cleared for access during snow and ice removal events. The Government will not compensate for the Contractor’s lost time nor does it accept the above as reason for noncompliance with the work requirements.

1.3. Objective

The objective of this contract is to remove all snow and ice from all pavement and sidewalks associated with the Pentagon Reservation by means of an ID/IQ contract, and in accordance with this PWS. As the DoD Headquarters, business at the Pentagon is conducted on a twenty-four (24) hour, seven days per week basis. Thus, it is critical that safe vehicle and pedestrian access is maintained at all times.

1.4. Scope

The Contractor shall provide complete Snow and ice removal services for the Pentagon Reservation. The Contractor shall remove all snow and ice from all pavement associated with the Pentagon Building in accordance with this PWS. This includes, but is not limited to, all entrances, steps, stairways, sidewalks, pathways, plazas, pedestrian shelters, parking lots, roadways, ramps and bridges. The Contractor shall also remove snow accumulations from all Pentagon Courtyard (CCY) benches, chairs, and tables.

C- 2

1.4.1. Seasonal Start Date

The Contractor shall commence work under this contract on November 01, 2014.

1.4.2. Pentagon Reservation Boundaries

The work areas are located within the Pentagon boundaries defined by I-395, Rt. 27, Rt.

110 and the Potomac Lagoon, with the addition of the Eads, Fern and Hayes Street parking lots and their associated sidewalks, which are located on the south side of I-395 (See Pentagon Map).

1.4.3. Exclusions

The following areas are excluded from this contract:

1.4.3.1. The Pentagon Memorial (except for the concrete entrance walkway adjacent to South Rotary Road (See Pentagon Map))

1.4.3.2. The MEF bus lanes and all MEF covered areas (except the main entrance glass canopy (See Pentagon Map))

1.4.3.3. The Virginia Dept. of Transportation jurisdictions; located directly adjacent to the Pentagon and its surrounding facilities (absent from Pentagon map).

1.4.4. Areas of Responsibility

Snow and ice removal operations will consist of three (3) types of areas of responsibility as listed below (See Pentagon Map).

1.4.4.1. Type 1 Areas. These areas of work include all entrances, steps, stairways, sidewalks, pathways, plazas, shelters, pedestrian bridges, and road bridges.

1.4.4.2. Type 2 Areas. These areas of work include all parking lots.

1.4.4.3. Type 3 Areas. These areas of work include all roadways, ramps and bridges.

1.4.5. Estimated Quantities (For Informational Purposes Only)

1.4.5.2. Type 2 Areas. Approximately 43 acres

1.4.5.3. Type 3 Areas. Approximately 67 acres

1.4.5.4. Snow Stakes. Historically, approximately 1500 to 1700 snow stakes are installed annually.

C- 3

1.4.5.5. Ice Melt Treatments. Over the past five years the average number of treatments applied per year was 13; fewest frequencies/yr.: 4, greatest frequencies/yr.: 22.

1.4.6. General Priorities

The Pentagon recognizes a number of priorities during the process of frozen precipitation management. However, the Contractor may be asked to deviate to alternate immediate issues (i.e. individual access control points, stairs or bridges) during storm events as situations arise.

1.4.6.1. Pedestrian safety and mobility to and from all modes of transportation, including handicap ramps/walkways/parking areas/routes

1.4.6.2. Safe roadway access and mobility

1.4.6.3. Pentagon police mobility to ensure implementation of all security and/or emergency operations
